Beautiful sites available right on the water. Other site away from the water area available too. 3. SUPER easy check-in. 4. Not a ton of rules/regulations like most campgrounds and there didn't need to be as everyone is very respectful there, like it should be! 5. Dogs allowed as long as they are on a leash at all times. Again, not a lot of red tape, paperwork and rules to bring your dog camping which is so nice! 6. Campground and facilities are well maintained and clean. 7. Great location with lots to do nearby. 8. Wood for campfires available for $4 a bundle. Cons 1. We picked a site #56 because it was on the water and close to one of the bathroom locations listed on their map. While they were certainly close, they were actually porta pottys, not actual bathrooms with running water. Not a huge deal ,but had we know this, we probably would've picked a site closer to one of the real bathrooms with running water. 2. No central location to wash dishes other than your campsite. 3. Some of the sites along the water are very narrow and close together. We could actually hear the couple in the site next to us talking every morning when they woke up and it was not because they were loud. 4. No campground store so if you forgot something, you're going to have to venture out in the surrounding area to find what you need. There is plenty nearby, but it's always nice if you can just get it from the campground store. Your best options are site 61 if you want a nice, large site on the water (not a lot of privacy) or site 65 for a nice, large site, but very private with only one site next to you and the other side is trees. If you like camping in an open field with other campers and don't mind the lack of privacy, they have that option too. Really something for everyone. One last note, showers are 50 cents for 6 minutes. Not a pro or con in my opinion, but certainly worth mentioning so you are prepared when you get there!

I would have given 5 stars, but the owner came up to my parents at the end of the night and said we had clogged the drain by putting chocolate down it, which had never happened, and if we didn't fix it we would lose our 500 dollar deposit. So my dad proceeded to pull apart the drain at 10:30pm that night (they had been awake since 5am setting up the wedding and wanted to go home), when he proceeded to pull apart the drain it was filled with spaghetti and a butter knife....which there was no spaghetti at our dinner and no one would have put a butter knife down there, so it clearly wasn't our wedding that had clogged the drain. Hearing about that made me very upset with the owners and the venue, and really wasn't fair of her to make them do since it wasn't our fault.

The owners are amazing and friendly. They have a tiny store that mostly has shirts and some toys. They advertised ice but did not have any.

I love that they have a game room with books and games you can take to your site. They placed rubber ducks around the campground and the kids loved finding them during their stay. Not too much going on locally and you would need to travel close to an hour for bigger tourist attractions. All in all, I will definitely return.

I think we managed to snap up the very last site available and it was possibly a tent site (#28), not an RV site, but our little Aliner camper had plenty of space. We had to back in on a curve a bit and we had LOTS of space around us, which was very nice. There are lots of seasonals here but a few spots for transients like us, too. Very wooded, which I appreciated because it helped keep things cool. Our site did have a lot of pine needles which tended to get tracked into our tent (attached to our trailer) but it was not a bother and easily swept out. We cooked all of our meals outside on our grill and used the picnic table on site for eating. Our site had a regular household type electric hookup and we had forgotten our adapters (our trailer is 30 amp), but the office was so kind to loan us one for the weekend! We didn't use the water hookup since we had a plumbing leak. Each site has a metal fire pit ring. We put our Flame Genie inside of it and this worked very well (we like the lack of smoke from wood pellet fires and it works just as well for roasting marshmallows). The campground built a very large bonfire on the Saturday night... and it was probably the biggest one I've ever seen in my life. It was quite a sight. We could see it right from our campsite. There was also a large gazebo adjacent to our site and I saw it used by some (well-behaved) teens one night. This would be a great location for a family get together. I believe it has a fireplace in it... not sure about cooking inside of it. The only annoying noise we had were neighbors across the way playing some very loud techno music one evening (around dinner time). Thankfully, someone must have come by to tell them to turn it down. There's a boat launch into Stoughton pond down a gravel road. There's a small rocky stream that leads down to the pond, too... very picturesque and peaceful. I walked my dogs down there and also found other trails to explore. My younger dog really loved exploring the campground with me several times a day. The manmade lagoon was really nice for swimming! I went on the last day and they were just preparing to drain and clean it. I was surprised how clean it looked. The kids were having a ball swimming and playing on the floating raft. Our site was situated between 2 bathhouses. I used both of them and they were clean. I took evening showers and had no one coming into the bathhouse while I was in there. The shower stalls were very large with a big dressing area and a shower with plastic shower curtain. Nothing like taking a hot shower after a long day outside and going to bed clean! Outside the campground: There's not much nearby within walking distance, other than a cemetery right next door (doesn't creep me out, so I didn't mind it) and also Stoughton Pond (which has a picnic area and beach). A few miles drive can get you to a little shopping center with grocery store, etc. I forgot our camp chairs and was happy to find a Dollar General that had some for $10 each. Also a hardware store nearby; I picked up a few things we forgot. And, one day we went to Villagers Ice Cream & Restaurant. All outdoor seating and some really yummy food! We got Sundaes. I think that's about it. We had an enjoyable stay at this campground and I think we'd return sometime. The weather was very nice at the end of the season. Fairly warm days with cooler nights. According to my weather app: 78-90 degree days and mid-60's at night. After the weekend, it was very quiet, with most people gone home. This was a very relaxing trip for us! Just what we needed.

Stay clear.. Crown…read morePoint Campground used to be a wonderful place to camp. Unfortunately, since Happy Grounds purchased the campground, we have seen a significant decline in the overall experience. I do want to make one thing very clear: the woman managing the campground is absolutely wonderful. She genuinely cares about the campers, is kind, helpful, and does her best to make people feel welcome. Our frustrations are not directed toward her. She deserves recognition for the effort she puts in, especially given the circumstances. Unfortunately, there are serious concerns with the direction the campground has taken. There is no reliable Wi-Fi or cell service, which is especially concerning because there is no dependable way to call out in the event of an emergency. We have also seen a significant change in the atmosphere and clientele. Drugs have been found on the premises, including needles, which is extremely concerning for the safety of campers, especially families with children. The campground has also become increasingly overcrowded. Tent sites have had upwards of 10 people on a single site, creating a very different camping experience from what many long-time campers originally signed up for. Seasonal campers were told that there would be a gradual increase over two years to bring rates up to the new "going rate." However, when the new contracts came out for next year, the price had increased by approximately $900. That is a substantial increase for a campground that, in our opinion, has continued to decline rather than improve. What was perhaps most disappointing was how campers' concerns were handled. When people questioned the increase and expressed their frustrations, the response from the corporation was, and I quote: "Get out and leave. I've heard enough complaints. Just leave if you don't like it." That is an incredibly disappointing way to speak to people who have supported this campground for years. It is heartbreaking to see what Crown Point Campground has become. There are good people here, and the campground itself has so much potential. Most importantly, the manager genuinely cares about the campers, and she deserves credit for that. Our hope is that Happy Grounds will listen to the people who have invested years of their time and money here, address the safety and overcrowding concerns, and bring back the sense of community that once made Crown Point such a wonderful place to camp.

It is VERY much off the beaten path and once you turn on Somerset Rd., it's a good 3 or 4 mile drive to get to the general parking, picnic area near the water. Oh yeah, the road isn't paved either so it's best to have a 4x4 or some sort of vehicle with tires that can handle the trek. The general parking area is a decent size, there are a few picnic tables and a port-a-potty which was surprisingly clean. The reservoir itself is huge and great for kayaking or canoeing, neither of which we did, but I did see quite a few people there enjoying themselves on the water. There is one general walking direction which takes you to several different hiking paths and there is even a cute little bridge overlooking a beautiful stream. It had rained that morning and with leaves falling, the trails were a little slippery at points, but nothing that made me feel unsafe. I'd definitely recommend wearing sneakers or hiking boots of some kind. Between the group of us, we had 3 dogs and none of them were on a leash; people really didn't seem to care and everyone was friendly. The dogs enjoyed swimming in the water and I enjoyed looking at it. I'd most definitely go back to Somerset Reservoir with a camera and a light lunch to kick back and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

There was only one other car parked there, though the lot looked like it could hold 35 - 40 cars. The hike from there was then a minimum of 0.6 miles (rocky and occasionally steep) to a lookout tower (25 feet tall, maybe). The summit was another 0.1 miles but probably wasn't even as high as the tower. We took the Slot trail up since it appeared to be more gradual (but was a bit longer). On the way back, we opted for the other option: the Slab trail (which was steeper but had steps cut into the dirt or fashioned from large stones, in spots). I would classify this hike as short but moderate. The tower views were pretty nice. It probably took us a bit over an hour to hike up and back.
